Are Selfies a Sign of Narcissism and Psychopathy?

They omitted women from the study for some reason.

Some kinds of communication just go away because people get bored with them, or they are made obsolete by newer technology. Remember CB radio? Ham radio?

CB and Ham are still with us.

@roydal: Hey man, i’ve been enjoying your posts lately. wtf……they did a selfie study and omitted women? bunk! i saw online somewhere last week that there is now a university class for how to take a selfie. I’m not kidding. hmmmmm, i wonder how that enrollment is going to shape up….

I am on Facebook because I use Facebook as just another selective news media. I am there for the news updates, like tech news, news from the world of sports, latest scientific research news from Phys.org and a few self-help stuff from Lifehacker. I have removed all women and manginas from my friends list and right now I just have about 20 people(down from 344) on my list, only the people sane enough to see the world as it really is. I have no family member or relatives in my list either so just as Michael Corleone would say “It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business.”

Same goes for other any other social network like Google+ or Twitter.

I just recently deleted my facebook for the same reasons already posted. I feel so much better. If the few great actual real life friends want to talk to me, they can call me. 99% of the people on my list were people I never even talked to. I couldn’t even remember how I met some of these people as I only met them once.

Also, I read about a study that shows 50%+ of potential employers admitted to looking at people’s facebooks/linked in’s first to see if they should hire people. THAT is bulls~~~. I should not be judged based on my facebook page to even get an interview. That really p~~~ed me off.

[In Which We ServeParticipant 111]

Facebook is a tool which has its uses – eg, I advertise my home business through it, and use it to keep in touch with one or two hobby groups. I agree though that most people, esp women, seem to be addicted to it.

Actually it was one of the reasons why I split with my wife. She was hooked on it and from morning to night would be gazing at her phone, doing that scrolling thing with her finger for hours at a time. She used to complain a lot about how good everyone else’s life was, how successful they were, how beautiful their kids were, etc, and how her life was no good. I kept trying to explain how this was all a public display that was meant to make her feel inadequate, but she didn’t believe it.

The last straw came when I found she’d been chatting online for hours to another man. I was lying in bed and all I could hear was this little alert noise as another message from him came in, she’d smile and type off a reply. All the time ignoring me when I tried to talk to her. When I confronted her about it, of course all I got was ‘it’s nothing, he’s an old friend,’ etc.

In the old days, that kind of thing couldn’t happen. Women had to make an actual effort to be unfaithful in most cases. Now, they can be contacted out of the blue by someone and build up an emotional relationship online while their husband knows nothing about it, until it’s too late.

5 details Facebook asks for that you shouldn’t give

Overshare: I’ve been tempted to get involved with social media. The trouble is, every so often FB or some other site goes through a hacker scandal. I do not want my identity stolen or have my data mined for some marketing scheme. Thus, I’ve watched it with one eye but never more.

I have a legacy facebook to appease one long term friend who is totally addicted to it and to access the network of information, but recently they locked him out of his account for reasons we’re not sure of (probably posting porn lol), which caused him to realize “facebook is not forever” and that he should follow me to Retroshare.

When I had women on my friends list long ago, most of them posted tons of stupid pictures, usually of themselves drunk, c~~~ed up and being slobs and it hasn’t changed since. It kinda makes me sad watching them destroy themselves, however it’s no ones fault but their own and they sowed the seeds of their own destruction.

Here’s an article about Facebook being citied in 1/3 of divorces in this study.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/facebook-now-crops-up-third-5011205

I think we all would agree that Facebook is they type of thing that can destroy a relationship, but I honestly think if this was a bigger study the numbers would be higher. I am not anti-social media per say, but I never really had a use for it besides creepy cheap entertainment at others expense.

The article raised another point of how it can be used an a legal tool. It’s not clearly stated in the article, but this means for not only finding

“evidence”, but also limiting your liability in breaching one’s privacy.

 

“We regularly find clients coming to us with information they have found which is available in the public domain with proof of a relationship.“

 

Interesting stuff really. Unless you are there for business stay away ! As stated before by keymaster, “it’s a attention whore’s wet dream” and in my opinion the majority use it for making relationships ( friends and lovers ) some type of game. Which in turn is no more than cheap entertainment with no constructive use besides finding someone to “prey” on.

Funny how the institution of marriage declined more in the last 10-15 years than it had in the 40 years previously, and how that correlates to the rise of social media.

[games are for girlsParticipant 13]

its for girls, children and men that suffer from loneliness or men that need to soak up trivia to talk to children, women and sad men.
